October Volunteer Of The Month - Presented By Kokatat

American Whitewater is pleased to recognize Ian Foley as our Volunteer of
the Month!

Ian invested an immeasurable amount of personal time and resources in coordinating releases on
the North Fork of the South Platte River in Colorado. Ian worked closely with staff at the Denver
Water Board to provide an additional 300cfs into the Bailey and Foxton runs.

These kayaking flows were provided in
accordance with the South Platte Protection Plan, which was developed as an alternative to Wild
and Scenic river designation. Included among the organizations that created the plan are Trout
Unlimited, the Sierra Club, American Whitewater, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Denver Water
and the U.S. Forest Service. One of the goals of the plan is to enhance whitewater recreation
flows on the North Fork when possible.

Denver Water's management of its water system
has resulted in many high-quality kayaking days on the North Fork over the past several
years,but this is the first coordinated
weekend event.

Ian also took the lead in planning for the first annual Bailey Festival, including parking,
shuttles, designing and printing T-shirts, and the post paddle Barbeque.
